PUBLIC MARKS with search morning

Never knowing when a strike of inspiration will cause me to work until late at night (or early in to the morning), I always wanted an application that could tell me where I could grab a cup of coffee or bite to eat where I was, when I was looking, be it 1pm or 1am. So, I decided to write such an application, with the Google Gears Geo-Location API to determine location, geolocation to search for nearby businesses, and Google Maps for easy visualization.

A session talking about what people can/are doing with proximity sensing (and how/why in many cases, locative services aren't about absolute (geo) location, but relative location. Covering implementation and code of Bluetooth in particular, including information on the setup I used at Where 2.0 and WhereCamp 2008. (The morning session already covered lots of concerns about privacy that are applicable here, so this session will focus on cool stuff you can do and how to get out there and do it)

imply mount a lens on the bedroom window. In this way, when you wake up in the morning, you will admire the outside scene projected on a wall of your bedroom

here’s about ten things that I have to do to get the post ready to be published on a Friday morning. Up until now I haven’t missed a Friday since I started in last May.

Trend morning vs. evening for 2008

Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.

Une telle éventualité sera regardée avec attention par les actionnaires majoritaires de ces groupes. D'un coté, ils seront sans doute réticents de voir un unique actionnaire détenir une part significative de leur capital avec l'incertitude sur la durée de la détention des actio ns et d'un autre coté, au regard du poids grandissant des consommateurs chinois dans leurs chiffre d'affaires respectifs, il peut s'agir d'une occasion pour tisser des relations étroites avec les autorités chinoises et saisir des opportunités de développement, explique le broker.

This project was motivated by two things: my almost complete inability to get out of bed in the morning, and my fondness for recording data from routine activities and making graphs with that data.

Cover letters are all the same. They're useless. You write the same lies over and over again, listing the store-bought parts of yourself that you respect the least. God knows how they tell anyone apart, but this is how it's done.

And then one day a car comes out of nowhere, and suddenly everything changes and you don't know if he'll ever wake up. You get out of bed in the morning, and when you sit down to write another paint-by-numbers cover letter, something entirely different comes out.

You start threatening instead of begging. You tell impolite jokes. You talk about your childhood and your sexual fantasies. You sign your real name and you put yourself honestly into letter after letter and there is no way you are ever going to get this job. Not with a letter like this.

And you send it anyway.
